France, extra large "crystal regulator", the dial surrounded by a fancy cast and gilt bezel, the pendulum of sun-burst motif, and the case corners with full Corinthian reeded columns, and all sides with heavy beveled glass, the 5.6" porcelain dial with Arabic numerals and finely pierced hands, c1850 although some of the case gilding is there in the crevices, most of it has been polished to brass, the exception being the bezel which has its original bright gilding. Nice porcelain dial and original gilt hands. The rear beveled glass has substantial chips in 3 of 4 corners, other 3 panes with minor flakes. Overall an exceptional crystal regulator that is worthy of rear glass replacement and re-gilding. Good pendule a Paris movement, Ht 20 1/2"
